10-year-old deaf schoolgirl girl hung from a tree with a skipping rope in a shocking case of bullying
A Perth mother has come out to detail the extreme bullying her 10-year-old disabled daughter had to go through at her school. 10-year-old Amber Yoon was reportedly born with a hole in her heart, as well as a condition which meant her esophagus is disconnected from her stomach. She is also almost completely deaf and has been in and out of the hospital her whole life, making her a target for bullies at her Queen of Apostles Catholic School in the Perth suburb of Riverton.
According to the Daily Mail, this past week she was the target of an almost deadly bout of bullying. Amber was hung from a tree with a skipping rope by the bullies causing her to choke, only coming out of the ordeal alive because a teacher happened to intervene and cut her down. The terrified 10-year-old was even anxious she would get into trouble, only later being let off the hook after the teacher realized that she had, in fact, been the victim.
